Answer:
Results in the evolution of the species: Directional selection
Results in new species: Disruptive selection
Favors traits at the two extremes: Disruptive selection
No increase in diversity: Directional selection
One extreme trait is favored: Directional selection
Diversity decreases: Stabilizing selection
Diversity increases: Disruptive selection
Explanation:
Directional selection which is also known as positive selection is known to be a mode of natural selection. In this type of selection, an extreme phenotype is favored over other phenotypes. This makes the allele frequency to move in the direction of that phenotype and this takes place over time.
Disruptive selection (known to be diversifying selection) talks about the certain changes in the population genetics whereby extreme values of a particular trait are favored over intermediate values. This results in new species.
While Stabilizing selection is a natural selection whereby there is a stabilization of the population mean on the particular value of a non-extreme trait. Here the diversity is decreases.
Answer:
Explanation:
The four elements been referred to here are hydrogen, oxygen, carbon and nitrogen.
These four elements constitute the majority of the human body because of a combination of factors. Although, some of these factors are the major reasons, for instance the human body is made up of cells which are the basic structures of life. The cell consists of over 70% of water (which is made of hydrogen and oxygen). Also, oxygen is inhaled through the process of respiration which combines with other molecules (such as haemoglobin to form oxyhaemoglobin) in the human body. These among others make oxygen the most abundant element in the human body.
Naturally occurring organisms usually have a high concentration of organic molecules (molecules made of majorly carbon and hydrogen). This makes the human body have a high percentage (after oxygen) of carbon and hydrogen. Also, carbohydrates (which are later converted to glucose) form a large part of our diet and are stored in the body as glycogen (causing the body to have a high amount of carbon and hydrogen atoms).
Nitrogen is an essential part/element found in amino acids which are building blocks of protein. Proteins are involved in several metabolic activities in the body; this makes the abundance of nitrogen the fourth (one of the four) most common element in the body. It should be noted that amino acids also have carbon and hydrogen elements also.
The combination of the factors above among some other factors make the human body comprise mainly of these four elements
Short Answer
Explanation:
The cell cycle is a cycle of stages that cells pass through to allow them to divide and produce new cells.
Answer:
Cells are cancerous
Explanation:
Cancer is a disease which is caused by the continuous division of the cells without differentiation. The differentiation is the important process which determines the fate of the cell in the body that is it provides the function to the cell it has to perform.
In the given question, when the cells are dividing continuously and form a tumour even in the low condition therefore it can be concluded that the cells are cancerous or will be the cause of cancer.
Thus, Cells are cancerous is correct.
